Matisse
Henri Matisse 31 Dec 1869 - 3 Nov 1954
French Artist
He was known for his use of colour.
He was also known for his paintings but sculptured as well.
First started to paint in 1889 and studied in Paris.
He met Pablo Picasso around 1904 and they became friends for life. The difference between them was:- Matisse drew from nature Picasso worked from his imagination
He belonged to a group called "The Fauves". This group indulged in vivid colours and stylised or distorted decoration with amazing results.
In his later years, Matisse was confined to a wheelchair but did not let this hinder his work. He began creating pictures by cutting shapes out of coloured paper and creating colourful collages. He called this "painting with scissors."
